Science
Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a
nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a
"Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed
considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense
initiatives more successful? Can such an application of
science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable,
necessary or impossible?

The problem is that my all links or comments
on MD are getting swallowed up by the Niagara...unless you
do a WRCooper and just "ignore" it all...
Sorry if you feel that way, but at least I've looked up
some of your links and even asked you a question or two.
"Ignoring" is a personal preference; you can try it.
Fine, if it works for WRCooper, but I don't think he can
expect others to follow it, and his repeated appeals as if it
were a universal Rx appear self-serving, gratuitous.
I personally don't prefer it. I think confronting the
"Niagra" might (might !) make a dent, but "ignoring" it will
not (esp. when NYT moderators seem so uninterested in it and
keep 'ignoring' complaints by posters including you).
Anyway, I think this "Niagra" may slow down little after
the original does.

A good place to search for even more Showalter threads
might be that famous Talk-Cesspit "The Democratic
Underground"..it's perfect for a nut like Showalter....he'd be
normal there...

Thanks. WRCooper doesn't think so; he groups me with the
other two. His personal reasons.

No, I don't expect this 'Niagara' [edited sp !] to slow
down anytime soon. IF ever the real "Niagara" does slow down,
then little after that, may be this one might too :)

Some unfortunate news from the Bush Administration:
Across the government, previously public information is
being taken off-line, Secrecy News shows. Here are three of
the most recent examples:
- The influential Defense Science Board has removed its
list of members. A spokesman cited post-9/11 security
regulations as the reason. "He didn't explain how deleting the
names of corporate CEOs and others who advise the government
on defense policy was likely to increase security against
terrorism," Secrecy News notes. (You can find the Board
members' names here.)
- The online Center for Army Lessons Learned has been taken
down, after the Washington Post reported on an "unusually
blunt" report from the website on the inadequacies of U.S.
military intelligence in Iraq.
- The White House is preventing Google and other search
engines from locating key documents on its website. Files
referring to Iraq seem to be particularly verboten.
